You're on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upsetShe's going off about something that you saidShe doesnt get your humour like I do

I'm in the room, its a typical Tuesday nightI'm listening to the kind of music she doesnt likeAnd she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirtsShe's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachersDreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and findThat what you're lookin for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands youBeen here all along so why can't you see?You belong with meYou belong with me

Walkin the streets with you in your worn out jeansI cant help thinking this is how it ought to beLaughing on the park bench thinkin to myselfHey isnt this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole townI havent seen it in awhile, since she brought you downYou say you find I know you better than thatHey, Whatcha doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, I wear sneakersShe's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachersDreaming bout the day when you'll wake up and findThat what you're looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that I'm the one who understands youBeen here all along so why can't you see?You belong with me

Standin by, waiting at your back doorAll this time how could you not know that?You belong with meYou belong with me

Oh I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the nightI'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cryI know your favorite songs and you tell me about your dreamsI think I know where you belong. I think I know it's with me.

Can't you see that I'm the one who understand you?Been here all along so why can't you see?You belong with me

Standing by or waiting at your back doorAll this time how could you not know thatYou belong with meYou belong with me

Trouble, he will find youNo matter where you go oh ohNo matter if you're fastNo matter if you're slow oh ohThe eye of the stormOr the cry in the morn oh ohYou're find for a while But you start to lose control

He is there in the darkhe is there in my heartHe waits in the wingsHe is gonna play a partTrouble is a friend, yeahTrouble is a friend of mine oh oh

Trouble is a friend butTrouble is a foe oh ohAnd no matter what I feed himHe always seems to grow oh ohHe sees what I see andHe knows what I know oh ohSo don't forget as you easeOn down the road

So don't be alarmedIf he takes you by the armI won't let him winBut I'm a sucker for his charm

Trouble is a friend, yeahTrouble is a friend of mine oh ohHow I hate the wayHe makes me feelAnd how I try to makehim leave I try, I try
